Subject: [Bloominglabs-announce] Hello! Anybody interested in CNC or need
some parts made?
Message-ID:
Hi all,
My name's Sam, I met a few of you at this week's meeting.
Anyway, I've built a fairly sizable CNC router (40" x 20" cutting area) and
now I don't have any idea what to do with it. Does anyone have any ideas
for projects, or do you need some parts cut for a project of your own? I
was thinking a hexapod-type robot would be cool, but I've run out of money
for things like servos!
Here's a small gallery where you can see what it looks like -

It can cut both wood and aluminum. I haven't tried any plastics yet, but I
might not have appropriate spindle speeds to produce decent cuts (for now).
I have a sheet of acrylic which I intend to eventually experiment with.
If anybody has a project idea you want to work on, or you just need a few
parts for your own project, let me know. I wouldn't ask for anything except
the material you'd want to cut and maybe any cutting bits which would be
necessary for the part.
Thanks,
-Sam

Subject: [Bloominglabs-announce] non-profit space
Message-ID:
Greetings all, I stopped at The Warehouse on south Rogers today and talked to John Buehler who I am also cc'ing on this. The Warehouse has space available (200k sqft) for non-profits and can provide very reasonable rates for qualifying organizations. We talked briefly about his plans for building a community workshop and a kid's club. It sounded to me like we have a lot in common and that this is an opportunity that would serve BloomingLabs well to investigate. Regards,Craig

This is a reminder of the Intro to Programming course that is starting this
Thursday, January 12, at 6:00pm. The details of the course are listed
below. I have decided on a text book - I'm going to use "C Programming
Language: 2nd Edition" by Kernighan and Ritchie. It's definitely a book
worth owning if you don't already have a copy.
If you are planning on attending but haven't contacted me, please drop me a
note. I'm looking forward to Thursday - hope you are too!

To: bloominglabs-members at bloominglabs.org,
bloominglabs-announce at bloominglabs.org
It's official! I'm offering an Intro to Computer Programming course at
Bloominglabs this spring meeting on Thursdays from 6pm until 8:30pm. The
course will mirror IU's calendar starting on January 12th and ending on
April 26th with no meeting on March 15th for spring break. The course will
be taught in C and a syllabus is attached (subject to minor changes). Cost
is a minimum of $50 for the 15 week long course (feel free to pay more if
you want!) and all proceeds will go to Bloominglabs. I also ask that you be
committed to attending every week and there will be assignments to work on
outside of class (but no exams!). Please send an email to
contact at bloominglabs.org if you are interested in attending and spread the
word.

A reminder of the public meeting tonight at 7pm at Bloominglabs. If you are
a member, don't forget that your dues are due by Sunday, so bring them
tonight if you want to be ahead of the game. I won't have time to get a
treasurer report done, but I'll get something up on the wiki as soon as I
can.
